✧ ﹒ ₊ ♡ ⁺ ៹ ﹒ ♡ ﹒ ✧ ₊

I was reincarnated in a novella I read : "The beast found its Belle". That's all I knew. Indeed, I didn't know what stopped my previous life, if I died or not.

The kingdom I had to live in was named Asawon and was going to be ruled by the prince Yang, after the king Yang died — but that still didn't happen —.

Being reincarnated wasn't so bad, even if I wasn't one of the main characters, I was an independent commoner who painted for a living. It could've been worse I guess.

Moreover, thanks to my knowledge about this world — more like the novella — my life was easy.

Indeed, Asawon was on bad terms with another kingdom, Obriwa; and I knew that a war would happen and that Asawon would win. But, I also knew that some places of the kingdom — particularly in the West side — would be demolished, completely destroyed by the battles.

So, with a bit of money, before the war would start, I could move to the East side and live peacefully.

Moreover, after the war, the king would die shortly later, the prince Yang would become the king of Asawon and marry lady Yang Ereumi — who was the "Belle'' of the title —.

Anyway, my paintings alone weren't enough money. Sadly, the other commoners couldn't always waste their money on my paintings ... So, I had the great idea to put my knowledge in alchemy and herbalogy — from a lot of isekai novellas that I've read in my past life — into work. I made beauty products and herbal medicines.

Of course, my products weren't that amazing as I didn't have much matters and equipment, and making products too revolutionary for this world would get me too much attention anyway — it was best to live quietly for peace —.

I was still called the genius commoner around the place, and I was a bit known by the rare aristocrats that would walk in the city's marketplace.

I didn't have a shop, I had my little stand in the city to display my paintings and products. I hoped that once I moved to the East of the kingdom, I'd get my own shop.

Regardless, today was the first day of spring, and so, a festival was organized in the city. I've read about it in my past life, every year on the first day of spring a big festival was organized. It was described to be colorful, full of kids playing around, adults opened their shops and stands all day, musicians would play music next to the tall water fountain, a lot of aristocrats like lady Ereumi would come and later in the day, the king and prince Yang would join — no one expected that they'd show up —.

Indeed, that festival was very important for me. A lot of people with money would come, therefore I prepared a lot of products and I expected to display all of my best paintings; I hoped that in one day I'd gain the rest of the money that I needed to finally move to the East.

Hence, here I was, in the festival, with my stand settled in the worst place possible. My stand was the last of a long line of stands and I wished that people would have the energy to walk till the end of the festival to see my mine.

Because I was reincarnated as a young commoner of eighteen years old, I was still considered new to the market. The adults that had stands took the same places they had for years for that special fete; I couldn't bring myself to ask for a better place before the event.

After a few hours, I had a few aristocrats buy my beauty and health products ... But not many of my paintings. Yet, some people were suspicious and distrustful of these products and medicines that I offered.

Fortunately, rare aristocrats that already bought from me came again for my products, and claimed in front of the others about how effective those were. What was really popular with them was a product to make the skin softer and shinier, in fact appearance and beauty was very important for the upper class.

The sun started to go down and there were less movements, less noises and smaller crowds. I could hear the sweet melody of violins while I was shivering from the breeze.

At that point, the king and prince Yang had just arrived at the festival. I knew that they'd pass by my stand; as I remember in the novella, they'd go till the end of the festival, and this was where the prince Yang and lady Ereumi met each other.

I was a bit nervous about the idea of maybe seeing the main characters. The prince was described as very tall and slim but also muscular. His figure was elegant and intimidating. His skin was smooth and white as milk. His nose was long and sharp. Oh, and his eyes, his eyes were his best feature ... I remember that they were mentioned a lot in the novella. They were described as large, light and also dark, sharp and pretty; his eyes were often compared to those of a cat. Therefore, the novella should've been called "The cat found its owner" ?

The prince Yang was also said to be cold due to the fact that he wasn't very talkative. He also didn't have the best relationship with the king. Furthermore, after the king's death, he became more cold and absent from the people of Asawon even though he was its new king.

When his butler announced to him that he had to marry someone, he became so aggressive and fended off that idea of marriage.

The new king knew that he didn't have the choice but to do so. But marrying someone was the last thing he wanted to do. But that was before he met Lady Ereumi at the festival.

Lady Ereumi was the daughter of a very powerful patrician family. In addition, she was very pretty and was described to look like a porcelain doll. Lady Ereumi alway spoke with a sweet voice and her words sounded poetic.

After she and the prince Yang spoke to each other in the festival, they'd meet accidentally multiple times. Well, not really accidentally; that lady Ereumi was crazy in love and obsessed with the young king, and her mother, as a powerful aristocrat and as a woman thirsty over money and power, helped her get closer to him, hoping that they'd marry fast so she would benefit from the king's money.

Thus, after some time, prince Yang Jungwon gave his last name to Yang Ereumi. But her feelings were never said to be reciprocal. Indeed, the young king wasn't so cold to her, but I've never read about his fondness for Lady Ereumi or about any affection towards her. The story actually sounded empty and sad in my opinion.

Anyway, back to the festival ... There were less people interested in the stands and more on the music and food. I should've started to get my things packed up, but I hoped that one or two people would maybe buy my last products and paintings — and I also wanted to see the meeting of the two main characters —.

Speaking of the two main characters, I saw lady Ereumi.

I didn't hear someone calling her by that title, but I just knew that it was her, it had to be her. That woman that I saw was a walking doll.

As I was hypnotized by her beauty, she approached my stand and I couldn't greet her properly as I was zoning out "Oh, hello."

"Hello" she replied with a smile before looking down at what I was selling. "Oh this is the product that I heard about before ! Lady Juyun bought it for her daughter, my dearest friend, and her skin became so soft, shining and resplendent." she added with excitement pointing at the beauty product. The way she spoke was so elegant — I could never —.

"Could I get one please ?" She looked up at me with smiling eyes. I proceeded to pick one product carefully and gave it to her "Sure, that'd be ten coins please." I replied. I hated the way my voice sounded so unpleasant compared to her sweet princess voice.

I could feel the eyes of everyone around on me and lady Ereumi. God, I hated that. But they soon looked the other way. As she took the product, we both turned our heads to the source of whispers between the people in the festival. Oh. That must have been the king and his son.

The louder the whispers were, the more people moved to make place and the more nervous I was as I knew that they were getting closer and closer to where I was- no to where lady Ereumi was.

I brought my hands on my hips, looking like a soldier waiting with eyes wide open to see the king and prince. But, wait. What. Lady Ereumi was not moving from my stand. She was too close, oh my god. I hoped that the king and prince wouldn't notice me. Well, it was written in the story that the prince and lady Ereumi would meet and talk, nothing about a commoner was written. So I was safe, right ?

That was it. The king was in front of my stand, first greeting lady Ereumi that greeted him back naturally before quickly walking past him — to probably talk to the prince who was maybe far behind —.

But then, the king greeted me.

I panicked. That wasn't written in the novella. I tried to reason myself; well, not everything of this world could be mentioned in the story anyway. He just greeted me. Nothing important, right ?

However, when I met the king's eyes I couldn't help but think : what a fine man, the king was so handsome and tall. But it wasn't the moment to have these thoughts through. I greeted him back nervously as I felt my heart beating louder and faster "Greeting to the lord."

"What are those young person ?" the king asked with a loud and rough voice but with a slight smile on his face, referring to the medicines I made. As I was about to respond, I could see the prince walking next to his father with lady Ereumi following him. I didn't clearly his face. It seemed like they already started a conversation, so everything was alright.

I didn't put my attention on them as it was rude to listen to people's conversations anyway, and I had the king in front of me waiting for my answer. "Those are medicines that I made myself." I explained with a kind of low voice.

I regretted that I didn't take my leave before they arrived.

"You can call me by my name Ereumi-" "A simple commoner like you made those ? With what equipment ?" The prince finally spoke with a calm voice, cutting off lady Ereumi.

I turned my head to him and was amazed by his beauty. The novella didn't do him justice. He was way more handsome than I imagined. The story never described his fierce gaze, his cocky expression or how long his hair was as it barely covered his eyes.

But what the heck. Nothing like that happened in the novella. He was supposed to talk to lady Ereumi and only her.

... Well, it wasn't a big problem, right ? It wasn't like I changed the whole story, it wasn't that big of a deal ?

The king turned his head to the prince and looked at him with a disappointed and furious expression.

How cute, the father looked at his kid like he was little brat.

Indeed, although the prince was very charming, I could hear the sarcasm in his questions, and that was why the king glared at him.

The eyebrow he raised just after he spoke and the slight smirk that appeared on his face implied that he thought of me as a pathetic person. As expected, what he said was an attempt to belittle and denigrate my work. I was a mere commoner, after all, I was stupid and never got an education like the prince and the aristocrats.

I tried to keep my cool and to not show any sign of irritation on my face. Unluckily, I was quick on the draw and didn't think too much as the young man got on my nerves.

"What ? Does this impress you ? Oh my ... If I had more supplies and better access to matters, I'd make so much better medicines."

What a mistake. I hoped that I didn't sound too disrespectful, because I was obviously being sarcastic to the prince. For someone who didn't want to get too much attention, I terribly failed. Now, I probably made the prince very angry ... But it was his fault !

Following what I said there was an awkward silence as if the king was actually waiting for the prince's answer. I felt nervous.

Yet it was lady Ereumi who broke the silence turning her head from me to the prince "That commoner's works are effective ! A lot of my acquaintances use those products and medicines, and they are very effective !". She smiled again. She looked so angelic, but the look she gave me before speaking to the prince was definitely a glare, like I interrupted her moment with him although he was the one who spoke to me. Anyone around could've thought that she was helping me. How sweet of her. But she wanted the prince's attention back.

"Alright. Do you have something that detoxifies poisons ?" The prince spoke with a serious tone as the smirk on his face already disappeared looking at me.

Was that the right way to speak to the prince ? Really ? Where did his cocky expression go ? Does the prince fear to be poisoned ? How thrilling.

"Well, there's the melcon medicine, it's a kind of nutritional supplement. But there's one little effect, if one takes it in a prolonged time, it detoxifies most commonly used poisons." I answered looking down, I couldn't bring myself to look more at the prince.

"I'll take one." The prince added. "That'll be twenty coins." I said.

So many questions went in my mind and I took one bottle of melcon medicine and offered it to the prince. Suddenly a guard came and took it from my hand, and another one gave me the money, more than I asked for.

Of course, the prince wouldn't carry anything on his own — except his sword — or risk touching a commoner's hand.

The king turned to him again and raised his eyebrows before he spoke "What is this all about Yang Jungwon."

"That's not for m-... This is none of your business" the prince replied harshly. I remembered that he and his father didn't have a great relationship. It was sad, knowing that the king would die soon and that it would affect the prince.

On the other hand, lady Ereumi looked kind of furious that the attention wasn't on her. She shouldn't worry, she'd get more opportunities to talk more to the prince — oh well, only I knew of that —.

Soon they were all gone. I was reassured that I didn't create a big fuss and that I probably didn't change the story that much. The end would still be the same.

In addition, I've finally gained all the money that I needed to move to the East.

I packed my things till late night and jumped on my small bed for the last time I hoped. The day after, I'd take my leave.

Hours later, I woke up by the sunrise and the noises made by the small birds not so far from my window. I went down and had a quick breakfast with excitement before taking my bags.

The moment I was about to open the door, someone knocked. I opened it and was greeted by the postman. He gave me a letter and I took it before thanking him.

I closed the door and sat on a chair not so far from me.

I noticed first the stamp from the royal family.

What the heck, I had so many questions going through my mind and wondered if this was about yesterday ... And me who thought that I didn't make a big change in the story.

I opened the envelope and read the letter.

" Dear commoner;

You are obligated to present yourself to Asawon's palace before the evening.

Yang Jungwon. "
